Data Collection Mode
Face-to-face [f2f]
From 14 September to 1 October 1998, training was held for interviewers. Data collection activities started with the appointment of 10 teams with 7 members in each. Each team consisted of 4 female interviewers, a male interviewer, an editor and a supervisor. When the data collection activities started winter was very near, therefore, it was planned to first cover the mountainous west and forested regions of the country, then Gobi and central regions, lastly Ulaanbaatar city. Data collection started on 4 October and terminated 31 December 1998.
Editors were appointed for each team, so that editors and supervisors were able to edit questionnaires daily and correct them by going back to the households when necessary. This way of organizing fieldwork ensured high quality and reliable information. Data collection progress was reported weekly to the survey headquarters at the NSO. In addition to team supervisors and editors, the survey employed two roving monitors to assure that the same criteria were being applied by all interview teams. It is also worth mentioning that a number of persons from bags or horoos (around 300 persons) were also involved and provided great assistance during the fieldwork operation.
